Overview

The mission of the HDFS Internship Program is to provide an educational experience using the world as your classroom. Through your coursework, we strive to give you a solid knowledge base in research and theory. However, there are some things that can only be learned by "doing," and that knowledge cannot be acquired within the confines of a classroom. Thus, we also require that you learn through the real life experience of an internship.

Through internship, you earn college credit for practical experience in the workplace. HDFS is affiliated with a wide variety of agencies and organizations that have agreed to allow our students to learn by shadowing an on-site supervisor, gradually assuming responsibility under close supervision. Furthermore, the HDFS Internship Program Director corresponds individually with each intern on a weekly basis, offering opportunities for reflection and responding to any questions and concerns that you may have.

On this website, you will find a wealth of information about the HDFS Internship Program, including an up-to-date listing of internships sites and instructions on how to apply for an internship.
